Keep your Silk Lace Thong - Liquorice Therapy looking and feeling its best with a simple hand-wash routine, smart storage, and wearing habits that protect the silk and stretch lace.

Quick answer

Hand wash your Silk Lace Thong - Liquorice Therapy in cool water with a gentle detergent, then air-dry it flat away from heat. Store it folded separately so the lace doesn’t snag, and wear it with smooth fabrics to reduce friction.

Why silk and stretch lace need different handling

The front of the Silk Lace Thong - Liquorice Therapy is a lustrous silk blend, while the waistband and back are signature stretch lace that stretches up to 150%. Silk loses its sheen and drape when exposed to heat or harsh detergents, and lace can snag or lose elasticity if it’s twisted or wrung. That’s why a single gentle routine works better than separate treatments.

The thong is designed to disappear under clothes, so the fabric is thin and delicate. Treat it like a fine accessory rather than everyday cotton: less agitation, cooler water, and no dryer.

When to wash and when to spot-clean

Wear the thong once or twice between washes if you’re careful, but always wash after each wear in warm weather or after any activity that causes sweating. For a quick refresh, spot-clean the silk front with a dab of gentle detergent and cool water instead of a full wash.

A common mistake is leaving the thong in a laundry basket for days—silk holds onto body oils and can develop permanent marks. If you can’t wash it immediately, rinse it in cool water and hang it to dry until laundry day.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Prep and pretreat: Fill a basin with cool water and add a capful of gentle silk-safe detergent. Submerge the thong and gently squeeze the water through the fabric. If you notice any marks, dab them with a tiny amount of detergent on your fingertip—don’t rub. Check the care label first; if it says dry clean only, follow that instead.
2. Wash gently: Let the thong soak for three to five minutes, then gently agitate the water with your hand. Do not scrub, twist, or wring the silk or lace. Rinse thoroughly in cool water until no suds remain. Never use chlorine bleach or fabric softener—both damage silk fibres and lace elasticity.
3. Remove excess water: Lift the thong out of the water and press it between two clean, dry towels to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist. Reshape the lace waistband and silk front while damp. If you’re in a hurry, roll the thong in the towel and press firmly—don’t rub.
4. Air-dry flat: Lay the thong flat on a drying rack or a clean towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Leave it until completely dry, which usually takes a few hours. Do not hang it by the waistband, as the weight of the wet silk can stretch the lace. Avoid radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers—heat can shrink silk and warp lace.
5. Store carefully: Once dry, fold the thong loosely and store it in a drawer separate from rough fabrics or Velcro. If you use a lingerie bag or box, make sure the lace doesn’t catch on zippers or hooks. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. A small cloth pouch or a dedicated lingerie drawer keeps lace snag-free.
6. Wear smart: Put the thong on before applying body lotion or perfume, and let those products dry completely first. Choose smooth, breathable outer clothing to reduce friction, and check the waistband for any rough edges before wearing. If you notice the lace snagging on clothing, switch to a smoother outfit to extend the thong’s life.
